Although out of contact with my cousin Richard during the past few months, (his Mother and my Father were brother and sister),
I have fond memories of him while we were both young and intermittently as we grew older.
We communicated on a Professional level when I became a RN.
Richard, you will be missed and perhaps get together again with Howie.
Wish I had chance to meet your children.
Condolences to the family
